possible to repair headphones?

i have a 3 1/2 year old pair of sony mdr-7506 that i paid about $100 for...

and i noticed that the left cup cuts in/out and sounds crunchy. this isn't terrible because i use the right cup for monitoring, but i use these late at night for production so the neighbors won't get pissed. is it worth the time/effort to try to fix it?

you're joking right?

that's the reason these headphones are so good, they're modular and repairable

i've been in radio stations that have had them in use for over 20 years and still rocking strong

I'm buying a few pairs extra. They fit better when they're more new. Though I like taking the older ones out in case they get lost/stepped on/stolen etc...plus the stickers came off so they look original

Yea, I believe when I got mine it came with a complete blow up diagram on what each replacement part is and how to take it apart, see if you can find that and it should def be worth fixing them

Sounds like you fried them
(always make sure the sound is off before you plug in/out)
